Taurex Reappoints Former CEO Matthew Wright as Non-Executive Director

CFD broker Taurex has brought back industry executive Matthew Wright as a Non-Executive Director, marking a return to the brokerage nearly three years after he stepped down as its Group CEO.

Wright officially rejoined the company’s board last year in a part-time capacity. In the role, he contributes to board oversight and strategic guidance rather than day-to-day management.

His return reconnects the broker with a senior figure who previously led the firm during its earlier phase as Zenfinex. Wright served as Group CEO between 2021 and 2023, overseeing the business during a period that eventually led to the rebranding of its trading operations to Taurex in 2023.

After leaving the brokerage, Wright joined online trading group Exinity as Group COO, where he spent nearly two years. Earlier in his career he also served as CEO of Capital Index and held senior roles at Destek Markets, GAIN Capital, and Refco.

Alongside his new board role, Wright is also involved in a newer venture. Last year he co-founded Semoto in London and currently serves as CEO of its institutional desk, Semoto Prime, which focuses on execution, settlement and payment infrastructure across fiat, crypto and stablecoin transactions.

Taurex currently operates several business lines, including its retail brokerage platform, the institutional liquidity arm Taurex Prime, and the funded trader programme Atmos Funded.
